C A L L F O R P A R T I C I P A T I O N 2nd symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing (TGC 2006) Lucca, Italy November 7-9, 2006 http://www.imtlucca.it/tgc2006 DEADLINE FOR EARLY REGISTRATION: October 25, 2006 =============================================================== SCOPE ===== Computing technology has become ubiquitous, from global applications to minuscule embedded devices. Trust in computing is vital to help protect public safety, national security, and economic prosperity. A new area of research, known as global computing, has recently emerged. It aims to define new models of computation based on code and data mobility over wide area networks with highly dynamic topologies, and to provide infrastructures to support coordination and control of components originating from different, possibly untrusted, sources. Trustworthy Global Computing aims to achieve safe and reliable computation in such a framework, by providing tools and frameworks for constructing well-behaved applications and for reasoning about their behaviour and properties. In 2005, the FET-IST Programme of the European Union launched several Projects dedicated to these themes within the Global Computing II proactive initiative. These projects are now due to be reviewed after their first year of activity. This symposium will be devoted to presenting and discussing recent progress in trustworthy global computing within these projects and beyond. The event will also include the presentation of three FP7 initiatives named "Internet of the future", "Pervasive adaptation" and "ICT forever yours". The symposium is colocated with the reviews of the FP6 GCII projects: - AEOLUS http://www.ceid.upatras.gr/aeolus - MOBIUS http://mobius.inria.fr - SENSORIA http://www.sensoria-ist.eu - CATNETS http://research.ac.upc.edu/catnet The first TGC event took place in Edinburgh on April 7-9, 2005 with the co-sponsorship of IFIP TC-2, as part of ETAPS 2005. TGC 2005 was the evolution of the previous Global Computing I Workshops held in Rovereto in 2003 and 2004 and the workshops on Foundation of Global Computing held as satellite events of ICALP and Concur. In view of the importance and the strategic role of trustworthy global computing, the plans are to organize TGC regularly in the future. VENUE ===== Lucca is a medieval Tuscan town, in an intermediate position between Pisa and Florence, with fully preserved renaissance city walls. The IMT Institute for Advanced Studies (http://www.imtlucca.it) is a recently established graduate school, whose PhD program on Computer Science and Engineering focuses on various issues of global computing. Lucca has maintained the characteristics of the small capital it was almost up to the unification of Italy. Beyond the hills, the nearby beaches of Versilia, the marble quarries of Carrara and the mountains of Garfagnana complete the picture.
